it was john kerry's fault. he was a foreigner. it was john mccain's fault, because he was the old grumpy "get off my lawn, kids" candidate. or if it isn't that, you blame the customer. it's the voters' fault. voters used to be smart and patriotic and bold and now they're weak and dumb and vote for the other guy. this was an acknowledgment that there was something wrong with the party. it wasn't just the accident of mitt romney or whatever else. they called themselves out of touch. narrow minded. stuffy old men, trib unz of the deserving rich. i mean, i just-- i think they deserve enormous credit. and the one policy recommending a they did come up with, of course, was immigration, strongly, strenuously endorsing that. but, you know, to me it was-- it was a mea culpa, azet the same time, sort of a candid assessment of where the party-- >> let me go into why i think it was insufficient. agreeing with what mark said. the party cannot be competitive nationally unless it's competitive in california, oregon, washington, new england, penn
